Probably. Last comp I was at I saw Johnny Trigg using one.

'murica!

Gotta love it!

If you want a HumVee instead of a Chevy Colorado.......................................go getcha one!

That’s how it works, i thought. Pat should worry about making his boat payment, not my money.

You're done then, convo over. Delete thread.

I guess I could start building these for something to do. Hanco bbq pits. Free half cord of mesquite with every pit.

Choo Choo!

You do reverse flow?

I know of at least one guy who’d buy one lol - also make a few simple Santa Maria pits

If you can invent something that you can put a
chunk of meat in and close the door and push
a button and go back inside and come back
out when it's completely finished, you'll sell
millions of em
That's what everybody seems to want.
Nobody wants to cook anymore (or knows how)

Billycat: My brothers got some vertical design Reverse Flow pits that'll melt yer Whiskers... He cooked with John Willingham's team "The River City Rooters" back in the early 90's... They won a load of Awards on the "Memphis in May" & KCBS BBQ circuits... He learned a lot about what works and what doesn't with pits... So with help from the Pierce fire truck metal Fab shop we built our own pits... With Show quality paint & polished 304L stainless steel, They are a sight to behold... I don't have the tech skills to post pics... But if you want to see them, PM me with a # and I'L have him send photos from his phone...

Initially he called it the WambyCue and then settled on the Wham. John had a cue store in Memphis for awhile as well. He was a hell of an inventor.

Yep... He also Played Major league ball for the Cardinals i think?... Was a member of the Nixon administration, Also worked with the CIA on the "American 180" Brief Case machine gun used in that Israeli hostage situation on the train... Or so i was told by him...

If you're into Memphis BBQ lore, both John and Don Peltz (Corky's) died within hours of each other. Both helped to make Memphis the BBQ capital that it is today.

I think i remember that there was mild rivalry between these two?... But more so, I remember the notoriety of Charlie Vergos "rendezvous" really stuck in his craw... He'd say "That (Bleep) ain't even Real Barbeque!... I got a few interesting "John" stories... I'L share the best one... John took my brother and i to that old burger place in Memphis that fries their burgers in cast iron pans with Fifty yr old grease... You gotta try it, Elvis ate here all the time he said... I guess it was in an iffy hood cause my brother said "bring the Python"... We finished our burgers, And we got in the car and pulled away just as two young African Americans bolted past on a dead run, Soon followed by a shouting Big black woman poh leece officer (gun in hand)... She was huff'in & puff'in... So Without think'in, I sez out loud "Ain't No Way she's gonna catch them two"... At that, John floors the gas & hauls ass down the street after em... (My brother and i are like, WTF is he doing) He passes them and cuts them off Starsky & Hutch style at the end of the block just as i grabbed the revolver from under the seat... One of them had a gun and i thought sure we was gonna get car jacked or shot at... I put that 357 up and out the window and drew a bead on the armed one... I must have had a serious look as they turned around and ran back toward "Big Momma" who now had back up with her... As john sat there for a moment (apparently bewildered) My brother says "John lets get the "F" outta here before we get arrested or wind up as witnesses" ... I guess John loved to tell an embellished version of that story around the Pitfire once in awhile... I was like "Callahan" with this Huuuge revolver and we helped Memphis PD round up the bad guys... LOL
